Description:
2-Methyl-1,2,4-butanetriol, with the CAS number 62875-07-4, is a chemical compound characterized by its structure, which includes three hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a branched carbon chain. This triol is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature, exhibiting hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. It is soluble in water and various organic solvents, making it versatile for different applications. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups contributes to its potential as a polyol, which can be utilized in the synthesis of polyurethanes and other polymers. Additionally, 2-Methyl-1,2,4-butanetriol may serve as a building block in organic synthesis and can be involved in various chemical reactions, including esterification and etherification. Its low volatility and relatively high boiling point suggest stability under standard conditions, making it suitable for use in formulations requiring moisture retention or as a plasticizer. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
